More on Durga Saptashati Here is a link, from where you can download a PDF of this text with verses

in De vanagari and Hindi translation, published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur http://www.4shared.com/document/48cm_ga ... -Hind.html Now, while reciting it, one should follow the proper nyasa and preliminary recit ation of verses etc, as given in the beginning of the PDF (see "Patha-Vidhi"). This should be followed by Devi Kavacham, Argala Stotram, Kilakam, Vedic Ratrisu ktam, Tantric Ratrisuktam, Devi-Atharvashirsha, Navarna and Saptashati-Nyasa (al l of these precede the 1st chapter in the PDF). Finally, one chapter each day should be recited in sequence - thus, ch1 on 1st d ay, ch2 on 2nd day and so on, followed by "Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu..." (See pp. 1 10-115 in PDF, verse beginning with "Namo Devyai Mahadevyai...")and the Rig Vedi c Devi Suktam everyday (See video links for both above). Durga-Bija mantra - "Om Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vichchai" should be recited in the beginning and end of the each chapter recitation. In the end of each chapter, Kshama Prarthana should be done (see p. 214 of the P DF), followed by any prayer for Durga (Bhavani Ashtakam by Adi Shankaracharaya i s a good choice - see video link above). this cycle can be repeated continuously. Note - Durga Saptashati's any single chapter should not be recited in isolation as it can cause harm. Explorings, I hope you are following this procedure while reciting the Devi Mahatmya (also c alled Durga Saptashati). Meemu,
